Technical FAQs 4

What is a new power price in Norway?

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, jointly with Energy Minister Terje Aasland, announced a landmark shift by setting a fixed power price of NOK 400/MWh (approximately EUR 34/MWh) for households.

Does Norway need a new energy policy?

Despite its abundant and inexpensive hydroelectric power, Norway’s energy prices have increased domestically when European countries draw on that energy. Norway may have to revert to an old policy and allow those power exports only when its power demand is satisfied to the dissatisfaction of its European neighbors.

Why are Norway's electricity prices so low?

Historically, Norway has enjoyed relatively low electricity prices, thanks to its extensive hydroelectric power generation, which accounts for nearly 90% of the country’s energy supply. However, this sharp rise in prices is largely due to a shortfall in wind energy from Germany and the North Sea.

Do you pay VAT on electricity in Norway?

VAT. Households pay the spot price for hours with electricity prices below 75 øre/kWh. Grid tariff VAT is at 25 per cent. Only applies to homes, not cabins/vacation homes. This policy is called “Strømstøtte” in Norway, irectly translating to “ lectricity ort”.
